Representation
I will do my best not to come across as being "political" for that is NOT my intent. I want to start out with that I love the Representation we have in the game. From February showcasing Black Simmers...

Ditto. This isnt a fashion game. Sims 4 cares too much about appearances or the superficial. People are too worried about what their sims are (gender, race) and not worried enough about WHO their sims are (personality, interests, hobbies, memories).
We want consequences and personality for our sims. Some do want political correctness or Diversityâ„¢ because as soon as something that is diverse is added, but not the kind of diversity you want (i.e shrines) it gets twitter cancelled. We're tired of the game being manipulated as a political or social issue tool. Keep activism and politics out the game and let us just play.
YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!! You barely heard any complaints about skin in sims 2, at least I don't remember, because those sims HAD personality. You knew when they were, happy or angry. We didn't need a buff to tell us. There was a memory system so we could understand what happened to them in their life. Big events were important to them and the sims felt more connected to each other not just existing in the same world. I personally think sentiments are just not enough in Sims 4.
I have to say I am tired of the game's focus being on diversity and political correctness and LESS ON MAKING IT FUN and MEANINGFUL. I wish the devs never opened that can of worms because they will never get it right anyways. Someone will always say it is not enough.
I agree with you 100 percent! Nobody worried about political correctness or representation in Sims 1 or Sims 2 or Sims 3..they just liked having fun and enjoying the game. Sims 4 seems to be all about political correctness and representation. Whatever happened to just ENJOYING the game and not worrying about representation or diversity?
I'm praying sims 5 will be more like Sims 1-3,where people just enjoyed the game and didn't worry about being represented or politically correct.
Ah yes, when a game was a true game. Sadly things have changed... I don't have faith in the sims 5. Especially if this is the community pushing forward. We older simmers who've been there since the start are not who EA wants to please anymore. And since it seems everything is about political correctness and feel represented I just don't have hope anymore. I'm glad I can go back and play 2 and 3 and live in the nostalgia of better days, IMO, but our time is up.
